To all whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, NICOLA DEsPINosA, a subject of his Majesty the King of Italy, residing at the city of Lynn, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improved Smokers Pipe, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a wooden pipe for smoking tobacco having the shape of a cigarfrom end to end and composed of a bowl or tobacco -receiving portion and a mouthpiece which are joined together so as to be attachable and detachable at leasure.v The invention consists in a nove combination with such a pipe of a material capable of absorbing the nicotin extracted from the tobacco and the saliva coming from the smokers mouth as the pipe is being'smoked, all as hereinafter fully ap ears and is set forth in the clauses of the c aim. p

In the drawings 'forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side view of the tobaccopipe. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section and Fig. 3 is a transverse section on dotted line 3.3, Fig. 2.

In the drawings, A islthe bowl, and B is the mouthpiece, of the pipe. The mouthpiece at one eno is screwed into oneend of the bowl, and so it is attachable and detachable and attached together they are continuous with each other. The mouthpiece B has a central longitudinal bore or passage F, continuous from. end to end and axially coincident with the longitudinal axis of the bowl, but of.

much smaller diameter than the diameter of the bowl. The bowl A toward its end portion, into which the mouthpieceis screwed, as stated, has a wooden partition C inserted therein, and! this partition has an axial bore or passageD through it coincident with'the axial line of the bore F of the mouthpiece and corresponding in its diameter withY thatof said bore F. ,The'partition C forms the bottom of the bowl proper, and between it and the inner end of thel mouth iece the inner in dotted lines at,L,F1g`. 1.

chamber of the bowl-'section of the pipe is filled or packed to its `full capacity with sponge G or with any other material similar tiereto or which, like s on e, isv not only capable of absorbing an ho ding moisture,

lsmoking of the tobacco in t e bowl by the Ipermitting the smoker. Sponge, however, ismost 'preferable because of its cellular formation.

The spongefilling G, in combination with the partition C, as is plain, secures an absorption of the nicotin extracted from the tobacco and the saliva coming from the mouth of the smoker and also a retention thereof against return to the tobacco in the bowl and the entrance thereof into the bore of the mouthpiece or the fouling of such bore or of the mouth ieee in any part thereof therewith'. Furt er, the metal lining prevents absorption of nicotin and vsaliva by l I the -Wood of the bowl, and as the absorbent material or s onge Gis wholly-within a metal- `lined cham er of the bowl-section, or, in

other words, is in no portion within the mouthpiece-section, plainly the two sections of the ipe, mouthpiece, and bowl can be attache to and detached from each other without inthe least manner affecting or disturbing the sponge lling, whileat the same time, detached the filling is exposed for removal or replacing, as may be desired.

It is not new for the mouthpiece and bowl c sections to be attachable and detachable from each other, nor is itnew to interpose in the'combined length of the pipe an absorbent ,material These of themselves are not this invention, and the sanne solely consistsr in the herein-described particular combination of theabsorbent material within the pipee-to wit, placing it solely in a metalned chamber of the bowl-section and there confining it between a bottom partition of the bowl and the inner end of the mouth iece,

"said mouthpiece being screwed into thel owlsection and it and said partition having axial. Ibores coincidentand in line .with each other.

. The open end ofthe ipe-bowl may be provided with a detachab e erforated cover or late H, as'shown, to hol the tobacco in the howl a ainst accidental escape as the pipe is smoked. Again, said open end of the ipebowl may have an upward turn, as s own Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, Y i l Atobacco-pi e in the shape of a ci ar from end to end, an composed of a bow -section anda mouthpiece-section, which is screwed 'into an open end of the howl-section, in combination with a wooden partition located in the bowl-sectlon. toward lts end receivin the mouthpiece-section, and havlng an axial lore IOS Viof the same diameter as and in a line coinciand theinner end of the inserted mouth-- piece-section, and 'a filling of spo e, or other such material in said interposedV c amber, all as described, for the purposes specified.

lIn Witness whereof I have hereunto set iny hand in the presence of two subscribing witxo nesses.
